About this work
Field Margin I is a graphite, charcoal, and chalk on paper work shaped around line accumulating into atmosphere. Field Note keeps the palette anchored in charcoal, stone, and paper white so the whole body of work reads as a single conversation.
About the artist
Field Note
Fort Worth, TX
Rowan Ellis draws under the moniker Field Note, creating measured graphite works that sit between landscape study and notation. Ellis often begins outside with small observational sketches, then enlarges them in the studio until line, smudge, and erasure become a weather system of their own.
Artist statement
Drawing is where I can think at the speed of looking. The finished works keep that searching quality instead of trying to smooth it away.
